Crescent Night

Chapter 4

Guhyeon's blood boiled with excitement . But she had to calm down in order to have the plan work.

The king looked over and saw Guhyeon and asked, "Didn't a servant just come in here?"

Guhyeon froze. "Dammit, I didnt think about that," she thought.

She smiled," Your majesty, I'm sorry, this is my first day, and the lead servant ordered me to bring some tea."

The king was hesitant, but accepted the tea.

"Oh, alright, come my child, put the tea on my desk if you don't mind," said the king.

"Yes, your majesty," said Guhyeon with a cunning smile.

Guhyeon walked over very carefully while keeping her eye on the child. She then dropped the plate.

"Oh your majesty, I'm so sorry,"said Guhyeon.

The king was confused, because she said it, while smiling?

"Uh, I think it's quite alright, I'll get someone else to clean this up," said the king.

Guhyeon smiled even wider. She then transformed to her true form. Her bloodstained hanbok, her jet black hair, her sharp claws, her piercing red eyes, and her pale skin.

The king panicked, "GUARDS, GUARDS, APPREHEND THIS DEMON!"

But, there was no one to save him.

Guhyeon laughed, an evil laugh, "Don't worry, everyone is fast asleep, it's just you and me."

The king was horrified, "What do you want?"

Guhyeon smirked, "Oh, glad you asked, have you ever heard of the White Jade?"

The king nodded.

"Good, less explaining for me to do,"said Guhyeon, "You see, I actually found the White Jade, but the only problem is that only the purest hearts, on the next full moon, could receive the jade. It so happens that in order to get the Jade, your little child over there needs to shed some blood for me."

The king snapped out of his trance. He lunged for his son, and pulled out his sword.

"You dare to take my son, then you shall feel my wrath," said the angered king.

"Don't worry, your highness, I already did," mocked Guhyeon.

The king looked, and saw an empty cloth in his arms. Enraged, he attacked Guhyeon. She dodged every single slash.

She cackled, "You suck, you know that, I mean, you're still young, you should have your little skills."

The king got the upper hand and slashed Guhyeon in the eye.

"AHHHHH, MY EYE," cried Guhyeon.

Her eye wasn't healing as it usually would, "What did you do!"

The king smirked, "Venom, you think so low of me, but I've heard of you, the Kumiho who defeated the Great Dragon of the West for his power, your story is everywhere. This specific venom happens to make it harder for even you to heal faster."

Guhyeon smiled, "You got me...but, I've got your child."

She had the little prince in her arms, and the king looked at her with horror.

"NO!" cried the king.

"YES!" laughed Guhyeon, and she disappeared into thin air.

The king dropped to his knees and smashed the ground,"My son, I will get you back, if it's the last thing I do."
